With one million people working in or retired from horticulture across the UK, Perennial’s services are in demand.
Whether you have already held your own fundraising activity or you are planning to this year, Perennial encourages you to celebrate your efforts and network together with other like-minded supporters at the charity’s fundraising lunch.
Join colleagues, fundraisers and supporters, and feel proud of your good deeds on Friday 10 October from midday to 4.30pm at The Cumberland, London. The ticket price of £145 per person includes a glass of fizz on arrival and a three-course meal with wine, plus a thank you from Perennial president Alan Titchmarsh CBE VMH.
This year’s event will be hosted by garden designer and television gardener Manoj Malde, who will be joined by guest speaker Matthew Biggs. Perennial will be celebrating the efforts of those who have gone above and beyond with the Silver Shovel Spotlight Awards and there will be an envelope raffle and live auction led by charity auctioneer Mark Head.
This year’s auction includes lots such as a day’s consultancy with horticultural business consultant Neville Stein, an Exclusive Hotel Group package, a Wembley Stadium hospitality package and much more. The Plantman & Co is supporting the event once again by supplying floral table centrepieces.
Perennial chief executive officer Jamie Gault said: “Every year, our supporters dig deep, taking on challenges, hosting events, opening their gardens and much more to raise funds. People should feel so proud of their fundraising efforts, which help Perennial deliver our vision to build better futures for people in horticulture and their families.
“Our fundraising lunch and awards recognise all their wholehearted contributions and commitments, and keeps up the momentum by raising even more funds. Let’s come together as a community for this fundraising lunch, which will go towards helping people during the winter period and beyond. Tickets are on sale now, so please put the date (10 October) in your diary, dig deep all year and join us.”
